Re: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows (11.19.10 / 7.15.11)
Also, a highly ironic/extremely frustrating thing that happened at my showing-
Brief prelude: my theater up here sold out of their 6 midnight showings early in the week, so I had to go down to Latham NY for a screening. The mall is a dead mall, more or less, maybe 70% vacant or so. Super ghetto place. So we go in the theater, and they were just filling all of the theaters as people came, so we were unlucky enough to get there right towards the end of the filling of one theater. We get in our seats, and that Regal First Look thing starts running, but with no sound. People start complaining, and they come in and tell us that there's a problem with the audio reel for that First Look, so they just mute it instead of having a buzzing noise. Fair enough. They tell us that the audio will definitely be on for the movie. Which is good, because a number of us, including myself, were basically equally excited for the Batman teaser.
So the First Look ends, the screen goes dark, and then: glorious sound. Fantastic. But wait... the screen's still black. They switched on the audio, switched off the projector lamp. The screen stayed dark for the first three previews, including Batman. As my Google+ updates attest, I was very close to punting infants.
